I like Vintage TV though there are so many free music channels on 28,2 east. But non of them has 70 and 60s music on their schedule. It would be a great loss in variety if they would not return to satellite. Most of Vintage Tv viewers are "45+" I suspect - so they are not the typical online TV viewers via laptop or smartphone. Theoretically online Tv reaches the most viewers - but in reality that won´t work in their target group of viewers. Therefore they should fast come back to the "old fashioned" satellite reception and to Virgin.

My TV & computer are not connected, I know all I need to do is go out & buy a cable but it's still effort/expense, I don't want to watch stuff on my 19 inch computer screen - I want to watch it on my 40 inch TV.

LOL, my OH is 59 & likes Vintage & doesn't even know how to turn on a computer! If someone asks for his email address then he gives them mine, I read the emails & then relay to him what is in them, sometimes he looks himself or reads a web-page - after I've set it up for him.

The online stream of Vintage TV supports Chromecast so you can easily watch it on to your TV with one of those (approx. £30).

I don't know what a Chromecast is.

And you can't be arsed to look it up? People are trying to help you!

Well seeing as it's been mentioned on here that Vintage will be back on Sky before the end of the month (ie less than 16 days) I shall just sit tight.

I wouldn't hold your breath, the statement from VM appears to be computer generated.

Even the holding slate has now been removed from the VM EPG. I doubt they would have done this if it was likely to come back.

By suggesting they pay £30 + data costs for something they got for free?

What data costs? You are supposed to use it in conjunction with your home broadband.

On their Facebook page, Vintage TV spokespeople were saying consistently that they would be back on Sky by the end of August, that no decision has been made with regard to Virgin and would no longer be broadcasting on Freeview or Freesat. As they have failed to deliver on their Sky promise I wouldnt hold out much hope on them ever returning to anything other than an on-line service
